Agree with your post; our International stock should already be in the pennies for future earnings.
Delta (DAL) trades around $47.36 with 846 million shares and loads of debt, derivitives, Southwest (LUV) trades around $40 per share with a market cap of $26.5 billion (we have to do the math for the shares) price times number of shares = market cap. It has many hedges (mostly for fuel) and now prices for fuel are getting better and it has derivitives for that and other items.
BLTA has many shares we know there has to be restricted shares for owners and employees until it makes revenue (inaugural flight) and it does not yet have any hedges or derivitives.
It would be a super positive if we saw a hedge for fuel at these lower prices for fuel. All airlines need fuel for costs and they want the best price. With oil coming to its best prices in years, BLTA is in a good position to get some great deals on fuel.
A pr of fuel hedge would be magnificent for this international stock also. IMO
